CHARLES STANLEY CLARK, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. STATIONERY ANDOTHER ORNAM/E NTATION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 1 4, 1 906.

Application filed May 11, 1905. Serial No. 260.025.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES STANLEY CLARK, a citizen ofthe United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stationery and other Ornamentation, of which the following is a specification.

y invention relates to improvements in the ornamentation of paper (stationery) or other materials and in means for producing coats of arms, monograms, or like ornamentation upon such materials.

It consists in a combination'of devices and in details of construction, which will be more fully explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a monogram on a sheet of paper. Fig. 2 is a face view of the silk material used on the monogram. Fig. 3 is a detail showing the blank impression in the .sheet to be ornamented. Fig. 4is a sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. blank of different material applied to the sheet. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 6 6 of Fig. 51 Fig. 7 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 7 7 of Fig. 1.

In my invention I first strike on the surface to be decorated a blank uncolored impression a of the die. The materal A, which may be made of silk, colored paper, metal, thin flexible metal foi or other suitable ornamental or desirable substance, is cut or otherwise given the desired form and outline, is then fixed to the surface to be ornamented by suitable adhesive material I), fitting over and covering the blank impression above referred to. The die, which may have engraved upon it a coat of arms, monogram, or other characters with a border 2 of suflicient dimensions to cover the ed es of the a plied material, is charged or fille with the d esired coating or finishing material. pression from the die is then stamped over the blank impression above referred to. The material ap lied inside the border is thus caught, so t at it appears to be embodied in the aper or other material used. In other wor s, for example, colored papers when used as backgrounds in this manner produce the results of a water-color-painted' back ground- Anyletters, .monograms, coat of.

A second im- 3, showing the flexible arms, or other desired charactersbeing cut 1 or formed upon the die will also carry the I coatin or finishing material, which will be 9 applied within the border and upon the surface A, as shown at. c. The characters thus I applied will occupy a central or interior position, and the border 2 will cover and conceal the edges of the part A and form a finish for the stamp.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A sheet of paper having a design outlined upon its surface, a supplemental flexible blank substantially covering and adhering to said outlined portion, and a normally plastic border overlapping the outline and the egge of the flexible blank and concealing said e ge.

2. A sheet of paper having a design impressed upon its surface, a flexible blank of different material fixed to the sheet and covering the impression, and a normally lastic applied to the sheet and en stantially conforming to the outline of pressed design said material forming an ornamcntal border for the design and a means for inclosing and concealing the edge of the flexible blank.

3. A sheet of paper having a design impressed upon its surface, a flexible blank of contrasting color substantially conforming to the outline of the design and adhering thereto, and a normally plastic border overlappin the outline of the design and the edge of the exible blank and concealing said edge.

4. The method herein described of ornanienting stationery said method consistin in impressing upon a sheet of paper the out ine of the desired ornament; fixing to said sheet over the outlined design, a fexible fibrous blank of contrasting color; and then a pl ing, by pressure, about the edge of the bl an -a'--normally plastic material which overlaps said edge and the outline of the impression and forms an ornamental border therefor.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
